We operate a local breakdown
service for callout to vehicles where the legitimate
vehicle owner has locked the car keys in the vehicle by
accident or where an aftermarket immobiliser may be
preventing the vehicle owner from starting the vehicle.

If the alarm or immobiliser is to be removed or
bypassed this should be agreed with your vehicle
insurance company beforehand as it may affect your
vehicle insurance policy.

Coded Car KeysWe
do not supply car keys though do have some diagnostic
equipment with key recoding
facilities where a vehicle may be immobilised due to
control unit malfunction but vehicle security pass
information must be obtained by the owner to allow
reprogram of key code.

Q&A My Car key has broken off
in the ignition lock can it be fixed?
In some circumstances broken keys can be extracted from the ignition barrel, where this is not possible a new ignition lock assembly
may need to be fitted.

Vehicle Insurance

Vehicle insurance companies may
offer discounts as an incentive to encourage fitting of
vehicle alarm and immobilisation systems to
reduce the risk of vehicle theft.

High performance cars and luxury
vehicles with a high insurance group rating may
be required by the vehicle insurance company to have
additional alarm and immobilisation systems fitted as a
policy condition.

Older vehicles and classic cars may
have an add on aftermarket alarm or immobiliser fitted
.

Most modern vehicles have a factory
fitted immobilisation system operating in conjunction
with a ' chipped' key . The coded key system greatly
reduces the risk of vehicle theft though criminals may
acquire the coded key . An additional aftermarket
alarm system may also be fitted to further reduce theft
risk. Some of the more expensive alarm systems
may incorporate remote immobilisation operating by GPS
mobile phone system or similar, allowing the vehicle to
be immobilised after it has been taken. A vehicle
tracking system may also be fitted to provide location
of the vehicle.
